Founded in 2014 at the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, the ISBA brings together artists and enthusiasts of botanical art across Ireland. Open to all, regardless of experience level, we encourage the practice and appreciation of this beautiful art form

We organise workshops, painting days, and lectures to inspire and support our members. We have also led several major projects celebrating Irish plants and botanical art, including Crainn na hÉireann – Ireland’s Native Trees and Botanical Art Worldwide – Éireannach.

Our mission:

“To facilitate interaction amongst botanical artists in Ireland, and to foster and inspire their creative development…“

We collaborate closely with other botanical art societies worldwide and greatly appreciate the ongoing support of the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin.
